Happy Independence Day everyone! I am reminded of all the individuals who have sacrificed so much for us to have the independence we have in the USA. Sure, we have some problems, but I am glad to live where I do. So many are not as blessed to have the freedoms we do in America. … Continue reading July 4, 2009

Personal Update 6-15-2009

I thought it was about time for me to catch all of you up on my life...so here we go. Yvette and I will soon be heading back to IL for a few days.  It's been 5 months since Yvette and I got married, and soon we will be going to another wedding.  This will … Continue reading Personal Update 6-15-2009

My New Scooter

Yvette just got a new job in Massachusetts, and she starts tomorrow.  Since Yvette will be taking the car, we were in need of another vehicle that I could drive back and forth to work.  We didn't have a ton of money to spend on a second car, so we decided to go in a … Continue reading My New Scooter

Quick Update

I just realized I had not written anything since Easter, so here's a quick update as to how things are going. Ministry Had a great day Sunday with the Local Outreach Team, and we are gearing up for a year of outreach here in Salem (including some stuff for July 4th and hosting a 5K … Continue reading Quick Update

Easter 2009

Another year, and another time the world begins to celebrate Easter.  Even though some may only think of bunnies and dyed eggs, many remember the true reason for celebration -- Jesus Christ's resurrection!  This year, I will spend another Easter away from home and family, but it is great to have my wife around.  At … Continue reading Easter 2009

Skiing in NH

Today, Yvette and I went skiing at Gunstock Mountain.  We had a great time just hanging out together and enjoying a the slopes with only about 30 other people there (at least that's what it seemed like... I guess Mondays are slow days for skiing for obvious reasons).  This actually marked the third time we've … Continue reading Skiing in NH

March Madness 2009

Well, it's finally here -- that time when people spend more time checking scores and betting in offices than ever before.  That's right, it's the NCAA March Madness.  While I'm not involved in the betting side of things, I am involved in a couple friendly bracket challenges over on Facebook (through CBS Sports). Yes, I … Continue reading March Madness 2009

The Economy and Me

Over the past year, as our economy has been going "downhill," I've often asked myself, "What does this have to do with me?"  As I sit here listening to our new President, Barak Obama, speak to Elkhart, IN, and the entire country about his plan for the economy, I can't help but ask myself this … Continue reading The Economy and Me

I love Technology

Two nights ago, I was able to "participate" in my cousin's 4th birthday party via webcam.  It's crazy how far we have come in my 26 years of technology experience.  I can't even imagine what will happen in the next 26 years.  Sure, at times, it was more like Yvette and I were "flies on … Continue reading I love Technology

Greetings from NH

Yvette and I are slowly but surely getting our house set up.  We had our first guests last night, when some friends came over to watch "The Office."  Our bedrooms are still quite messy, but the main living areas are quite nice.  It's small, of course, but it's a good place for a new couple … Continue reading Greetings from NH
